Stamps

Stamps tell stories which place historical events in context.

In the Gori family, the love of stamps has been passed on from father to son for generations. Gianfranco Gori’s father could talk for hours about his stamp collection and the accompanying personal experiences. When Gianfranco grew up, he remained fascinated, but his medical aspirations required a lot of time. Consequently, stamps were no longer a priority, until he received a large collection from his wife. This revived his passion and along with his son, he examined the collection with the utmost detail. The small, personal stories that stamps tell fascinate him the most. Especially when you place these in a historical context.

Gianfranco Gori finds there’s nothing better than investigating history thoroughly. Something which comes in handy as an auctioneer. Seemingly ordinary stamps can be of important historical value. Gianfranco Gori therefore knows exactly which stamps he includes in his carefully composed auctions.
